I head from Snowdonia National Park in the north of Wales, down south through the Elan Valley and then on to the Brecon Beacons and the incredible biker hang out that is Baffle Haus!
This is how the Welsh have fun on the weekend.

Hi Freddie, when you click on the link it says 2 weeks free trial not 2 months. 🤔
Is this offer live only for UK residents?
This channel is going from strength to strength and deservedly so. Freddie and Monica really do go the extra mile to keep us informed and entertained.
Not like some channels, who put a bit of narration over a piece of a motorcycle ride footage and think that's enough. I can honestly say, this channels fulfills all my RUclips motorcycle channel needs. No need to look elsewhere.
So you rode 450 miles on an Enfield, made a product endorsement pitch, a few stops for scenery shots, take a tour of Baffle Haus, walk around the parking lot in one day (15 hours)??? I tip my hat to you sir👏👏
I've a burning desire to ride to BaffleHaus right now. From North Carolina, 'Murca....
That biker hangout warehouse is simply spectacular, what an oasis!!
Ride safe freddie
It was so good to catch up with you Freddie at the Baffel Haus,My Harley was the Dyna Wide Glide covered in mud, and I loved the trip, Keep doing what you are doing, Best wishes from the 3 Irish :)
Really enjoyed this series. Amazing how you did it on the little Classic 350. I’m starting to think there’s something special about an adventure on a smaller bike.
I've lost count of how many times I've banged on about going to Wales in the comments here. Glad you finally came and the weather gods were looking down on you. I grew up in Wales and it still blows my mind with its beauty every time I travel around.
Great stuff Freddie! I really admire you for not only putting down the miles but getting such brilliant footage along the way! Bravo sir!
I am from Poland. However, after putting pair of brand new Avon Roadrider tires on my cafe racer lately I feel like member of the pack ;-) Great road trip!
That’s a slick looking pair of tyres⚡️
@@FreddieDobbs I totally agree 🎩
Lovely video! It's so cool that you are showing the normal live, normal people and stuff. Your videos make me always think about packing my bags, leave the next morning and drive to find some small adventures.
Absolutely brilliant! Inspirational road trip 👏🏻👏🏻
This was a brilliant series of videos Freddie thoroughly enjoyed it ,
Great video Freddie, what a beautiful place to ride. 12:14 is a Hunter.
Thank you insanely crazy ladies for another hour or sanity chat.
Really enjoyed this and your other Wales videos (and of course all your other vids). Baffle Haus looks amazing and is on the list for a stop when I manage a Welsh tour! Also appreciate your inclusion of sponsors in a low key and genuine way that doesn’t detract from the video at all.
I cannot like this video enough. Magnificent scenery.
Great video Freddie as always, really enjoyed watching. Thank you for a great content
One of the best Episode...Freddie...you made my day 👌🏻 Thank you 🏆
Cool place to stop, ride safe Freddie. 👍
Those two Harley's have seen more "adventure" than all those new big ADV bikes in the car park put together 😁✌
My first car was a 1970 MGBGT....so good to see one on the road and being enjoyed. Thank you for the wonderful views and company every week.
You made a comment about the Metro free newspaper. It's not only in London, but also in the West Midlands. As a leftie serious political freak, I also have a lot of time for the Metro. It is surprisingly well-balanced, and has a letters page with a genuinely wide range of opinion.
Loved this wales series, cannot wait to get over there on 2 wheels. Thank you Mr Dobbs!
Love your rides Freddie but also learning stuff as you travel whether history or what something is all about. This is a great place and I hope they get more people because of this video. Safe riding.
Well what can I say absolutely awesome what a great video entertaining from the start to the finish I shall have to go there myself one day thanks Freddie really enjoyed it
Something for everyone surely! Great stuff Freddie! 👍👏😀🏍
Looks incredible. Oli's personality and enthusiasm is infections. You're quite the double act - Congrats on another great video!
Thankyou Freddie... I've now got my 125 baby and loving the freedom, views and open roads.... Thankyou for inspiration 🙏😎
Yes, very much enjoyed your Welsh trip, thankyou.
Freddie I agree whole heartedly, Wales provides everything a biker desires and more. I havent been to Baffle Hus yet but something I must rectify. Thank you for the video.
Hi Freddie! I'm so glad you enjoyed Wales. I've lived in North Wales for 14 years now and always get a massive thrill from this beautiful place, wether green Laning or riding my ADV bike. I love your channel Freddie mate! Come back to North Wales soon and I'll buy you a coffee. Stay safe bud
Superb Freddie, superb. You are a force for good !
As always Freddie great content, then again you did have an exceptional venue. I would love to visit but it's a long way from the Lincolnshire coast.
Looking forward to seeing your next adventure.👍
You could have stopped off at the Bus station in Abergavenny for a cuppa, big biker hangout.
I googled Baffle Haus to see where it is and turns out it's 10 minutes away from where I grew up and driven past it thousands of times. I always just thought of it as "that wooden building" and never thought much of it. Will definitely have to pop in soon.
Greetings,
As always another brilliant detailed video 🇺🇸🍾🎉🇺🇸
Keep producing more videos
Great content Freddie, thank you.
Another outstanding video. Thank you.
What a service you provide Freddie - everywhere you visit I save as a favourite on Maps so I a building up some really good tours for the future - thanks so much for you efforts. Will seek out your 'buy a coffee' link.
After watching this vlog we visited Baffle Haus, we had coffee and cake, far busier than in this vlog.
Freddie, I did wonder how you could make a 7 hour trip interesting. Your discoveries and observations are incredible and inspiring..
Fantastic work. Many thanks Mike
thanks again Freddie , will be heading to Wales soon !!
great mini series ,very enjoyable .
A great informative entertaining series. Keep doing it.
Brilliant vlog Freddie. Definitely planning a visit to Baffle haus on my trip to Wales soon 😊
Hi Freddie, brilliant series as always, but in particular the Baffle Haus as it is local to me. there is another place where bikers meet up in Abergavenny in the bus station about 8 miles down the road. There is a little café there and you get around 40 to 50 sometimes over 100 in there especially on a Sunday. it is amazing to go around and look at the bikes and have a good chat with people. always nice to hear fellow bikers comment on your bike or thinking of getting one.
Hi Freddie, so thrilled you enjoyed Wales, and you timed it well with the nice weather. I was actually in Elan Valley at the same time, we were a bit gutted the mountain road to Aberystwyth was closed for the rally, but the A44 was an ample replacement.
We really need something similar in Suffolk, Cheers Freddie
well done Freddie, another great video. Really enthused to go to Baffle Haus.
What a fantastic place
Excellent. Definitely be paying a visit 🏴
Love this Freddie 👍👍
gorgeous scenery :) watched this while completing a lab report. eased my mind.
Baffle Haus has to be the coolest place in Wales. On the hitlist to visit next year, thanks Freddie!
Good jump that Freddie from Llyn Clywedog to the Elan Valley, keep the videos coming
I live like 5 miles from Baffle Haus and commute past it everyday, but I've never been inside, I will have to check it out. Well worth spending some time around there, check out the roads around Usk, Skenfrith, Tintern etc etc
Hi Freddie,
Glad you enjoyed your trip to our wonderful country, we live just north of Cardiff and every Sunday we take the B roads and tracks up to the Elan Valley and beyond. We never use dual carriageways or A roads where possible. We really are blessed with the scenery. Keep up the content. BTW all three in our group ride BMW GS 1250 Adventures.....
i just had to come back and say editing style and everything is so on point, keep it up freddie
Really appreciate it, thank you!
I think the red Jota may in fact, be a 750 SF
I used to own one.
My missus used to put the kettle on early, as she could hear it from the bottom of town. Happy days.
Yes it's a twin not triple. Both beautifully turned out
you are always welcome freddie and monica
I was right with you on this one. Thank you sir!
You are in the right place.
Just ridden out of the storms in northern Greece, where its a wee bit wet.
What a wonderful place Wales is.Baffle Haus looks amazing.
Great watch.
Ride safe and happy travels 👍
I can’t believe it hit 30degrees yesterday🇬🇧 I hope you had fun in Greece!
@@FreddieDobbs it's biking heaven. Add it to your list!
Great video and an awesome venue. Really took me back to some of my own former cars - I had a brand new Peugeot 106 Rallye in 1993 when I was 18 (I think it cost the equivalent of a year’s salary!) and then in 2004 I bought a new Vauxhall VX220 Turbo in yellow - a great car. I now have a 2015 Defender 90 XS just like the grey/black one in the video. I need to make an excuse to visit this place, it looks like it’s worth the journey 😁👌💪🔥
Bafflehaus looks great. Wasn't there in the years I went through Abergavenny to and from Lampeter. Always have a reason to go back!
Great trip Freddie, shame it wasn’t for longer as there’s a lot more to see. I stopped in Bafflehaus last summer when I rode down to South Wales from Edinburgh, on my 97 VFR 750, it wasn’t as busy as that but it was a weekday. Great place and they’ve done well. West wales next time. 👍
You've certainly crammed a lot into this video and the whole trip! Excellent stuff, one of your best! And shown the classic 350 is a capable bike, I've got some good road trips planned for mine , these little bikes will go anywhere, great video, cheers Freddie 🍻
They really will. There is now zero doubt in my mind that the Classic 350 will very happily do long distance touring
I've literally been out on my 350 every day all day for the last week. I've had my wife on pillion for a day, she loved it also my son and daughter tried it. All day comfort! I was out until 11pm one night and was feeling tired and I reckon no other bike could have felt more comfortable. It's size and power makes it so usable even when you feel worn out from a long day. And every trip feels an adventure. One last thing, for the past 10 year's I've been you could say addicted to swapping my cars and motorbikes 3 times a year. I've had the 350 classic for nearly a year now which for me is unheard of. I went to the bike shop with my friend yesterday so he could buy an interceptor and looking at all the new bikes didn't get my head turned once. What an amazing little bike the classic is! Love it.
Great video
One of your best vids so far Freddie 👍
Thank you🙌🏻🙌🏻
Baffle Haus is going well! last time I was there it was quite quiet
Great video and stunning scenery... the only frightening thing is that you truly believe that 6.30 AM is early .... 😆
Brilliant video Freddie, I didn't know Baffle Haus existed, I must go there!
Love your videos. Great tnx
“The earliest I’ve ever woken up”, classic Freddie.
If you like that type of biker/car enthusiast venue then you’ll love ‘The Motorist’ on the outskirts of Leeds, West Yorkshire.
Baffle House is great, the truffle oil chips are spectacular if a might pricey Abergavenny bus station not far from there is a cheaper more down to earth biker hangout on a weekend.
Awesome route. Glad you enjoyed Cymru. 😄
I'm always so impressed with the camera work. I would LOVE to see a video on what equipment and software you use, as I really want to up my own game and you're the benchmark for such things in my opionion.
Lovely place and people !
Greetings from Germany
Great episode, didn’t manage to do these two passes. Hopefully do the in the future. Swiss scenery is spectacular 👌
A pleasure to ride along with you on this trip 👍
Had a week touring mid Wales last month and it’s truly wonderful touring country. Definitely going back again... and again...😂
excellent video and what a destination! :)
that bar.....is my idea of heaven
That’s fantastic cafe and where it is beautiful😊
Great video Freddie, I have a lot of time for Wales and should ride there from Cornwall sometime. Just back on two wheels after 20 years absence.
Good vid Freddie, must get my self to baffle.
You're certainly putting in the miles. Be catching up with Itchy Boots soon 😂
Seriously doubt that ! He doesn’t have the wherewithal (the bike, the planning skills, riding skills, proper clothing….). Plus there are very few coffee stops where Noraly rides!
Baffle Haus is very cool but personally I love dropping into Owl's Nest while I'm down that way on the other side of the mountains. I'd rate it as the best biker cafe in Wales and probably the UK.
Wow, ok- saved to my list! Next time, I will definitely visit. Thanks🙌🏻🙌🏻
A great video series Freddie. I'm glad that you enjoyed our country and all that it offers, especially for bikers. Dont be a stranger and come back soon 😊👊
Thanks, and I’ll definitely be back!🏴
I could spend a full weekend at that biker hangout, and I had to take a screenshot shot of the BMW scrambler great video Freddie 👍🏼
It’s incredible- I was there for three hours and it flew by! Good shout on the BMW😍🏍️
The perfect hangout joint😂😂😂
Hope u come down to see their new place near cardiff when it opens soon.
East coast Of America needs something Like Bafflehaus amazing place and great video mate .
Wow Fred, the roads i ride but nice to view from your point of view. I did 310 miles the other day around wales coast and mountains. Very sore bottom. That little Enfield done fantastic. Never been to bafflehaus but will be. This welsh trip one of your best though still re watch Isle of Wight a lot. Thanks for your hard work. Lack of “dare you” sheep😂
I really am going to have to plan in a week or two at least riding around the UK. Wales, Scotland... the lot of it. Can't get too in depth in a few weeks but it would still be an experience.
Looks like a great trip.
It was brilliant, Davie!
Hi Freddie, I've been following you for a while but this is my first comment. Just to say my local library in Solihull (and I think most libraries in the UK) gives a free subscription to all those magazines as Nd newspapers you mention in the video. Really appreciate both you and Monica.
Cheers
Glyn
Im going to have to take up biking just to go there!! Why not!
Our Freddie is such an inspiration! The way he grabs hold of us and gives us a shakedown while saying ….“check these places out“…..
sh*t, do we own him?
